The SACACLI Cooperative in Jinotega, Nicaragua, was founded in 1994 by 31 associates, and now boasts 537 members, of which 93 are women. The cooperative began its operations in the coffee sector in 2008 with the help of 22 members in the municipality of Pantasma. By the 2017-2018 harvest, they had members and Fairtrade and Organic certified farms.

They offer high-quality coffee and agricultural products while prioritizing environmental protection and community well-being. The group focuses on self-sustainable development, the continuous improvement of the quality of life for its members, and gender equity. They have implemented a range of practices on their farms including water conservation, soil management and agroforestry. In addition to coffee, they also work with chili, tomato, and onion. Currently, the cooperative supports small and medium producers with services like savings, credit, supply, training, coffee marketing, and technical assistance.

The cooperative grows their coffee using regenerative agricultural standards. Regenerative agriculture is the most effective tool that farmers have against deforestation, soil degradation, and varietal preservation.

Essentially, the premise of regenerative agriculture is to grow in a way that will protect the next generation of farmers. It aims to take the best parts of organic agriculture and build on it: it asks, what are the best practices we can use for soil health, for animal welfare, for labor, for farmers, and it combines it into one standard.
